“Canada is imposing new measures on 43 military officials and 17 entities that are complicit in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s senseless bloodshed, including the horrific events in Bucha, Ukraine.”
Canada strongly condemns the murder of civilians in Ukraine and will use every tool at its disposal to ensure that violations of international law across Ukraine, including those in Bucha, are fully investigated.
In addition, Canada continues to work with its international partners to coordinate actions and explore options for new measures in response to the unjustified actions of the Russian regime.
“We will not allow Vladimir Putin and his enablers to act with impunity. The Russian war machine’s egregious actions will not be forgotten, and Canada will continue to work with its partners in the international community to hold it to account. Canada stands with Ukraine.”
